No not a thing, its literately been working perfectly since i had it, there was that bug in the previous version 321 i think then 323 was fine up till today...
Came home form work and it was just stuck on loading....
I disabled the plugin and my whole site went offline, so i uninstalled it.
Reinstalle dit again and it would not even show up on the forum anymore....
Ok i completely removed it again, installed again and it works ok now ?
God knows why that happened ?
Another weird thing is, i was chatting on it just now and the input box was normal, i viewed a new post, came back and the input box is now all shiny ? How did that happen lol ??

Sounds to me like you might have been hacked or another person is editing/changing templates (another admin/mod) as it doesn't change settings unless someone manually changes them.

Sid, please include the mgc version, vbulletin version, browser, webserver (unix or windows) as more info is needed.
One thing you can do is change the auto refresh on the admin side. But this MIGHT be a new bug. Post here if this isn't resolved: http://www.mgcproducts.com/forum.php
Just updated the chatbox, seems to be working fine except for one change, when chatbox is in full screen mode the input field is looking a little "funny", ive attached an image for you to see what im seeing.
